A while back I bought a pair of Denon AH-D950s to use with my PC. I am happy with this purchase, although I don't have anything to compare the quality of my purchase to. This is what I need your help for.
My friend is now going to buy some cans for his PC, and although I do like my 950s, I can't help but wonder if the V6s were the better choice. He will use his cans similar to me; meaning, he'll use them for games like Counter-Strike, or listneing to MP3s, watching DVDs, etc.
At the end, when I was choosing to buy the headphones, the choice was narrowed down between the Sony V6 and the Denons. Remember, this is for use straight out my soundcard--no amp involved. From what I understood, each one had its strengths:
Sony V6:
1. Best positional sound.
2. Very "precise" and "revealing". Good for use with games, but not suggested for use with MP3s.
Denon 950s:
1. Good positional audio, but not as strong as the V6.
2. Very "musical' and "precise", but not "revealing" due to being "musical"--so better for listening to MP3s with. Which I do a lot.
Both work great without an amp--or so I've been told--and both have nice, clean bass.
Also, have there been new headphones developed over the last year-or-so that are better? What should I suggest to my friend? Also, I forgot where I bought my headphones online--something like "djshack"--and if someone can give me the URL to a good headphone site, like the one I bought my Denons from, that would be really helpful.
